All students under the age of 22 entering an institution of higher education must provide current proof of vaccination against bacterial meningitis (an immunization given within 5 years of the date of intended enrollment) or meet certain requirements for declining such a vaccination.
Newly admitted students who have not provided documentation will have a meningitis deficiency hold placed on their account. The hold will be removed once the appropriate immunization documentation has been provided to Texas A&M. The meningitis deficiency hold will prevent you from checking in to your NSC and registering for classes, so it is imperative you fulfill this requirement two weeks prior to arriving at your NSC. For more information about this requirement, please visit admissions.tamu.edu/meningitis.
To submit your proof of vaccination:
- Register an account with Med+Proctor (medproctor.com/tamu-immunization).
- Use your UIN (Universal Identification Number) to create your account. This is the nine digit number you received when you applied.
- There is no charge to upload your Bacterial Meningitis Record through Med+Proctor. They also offer a service with additional features for $10. This is completely optional.
- Download the TAMU Immunization Certificate and take it to your physician or vaccination provider for them to fill it out.
- Upload the TAMU Immunization Certificate to Med+Proctor.
